She then stated to me that she was married in 1799. A few years ago it was expected that widows who married prior to 1800 would receive a pension, and as I was passing nigh her residence one day I thought I would call and keep up her feelings about good times coming in her case. I then enquired of her about the evidence of marriage: she said she did not know as there was any record but that there was persons living who was at the wedding &c - Her case has kept in my mind, she being poor and the only widow to my knowledge in that section who would receive any benefit by extending the period of marriage to 1800 - I further say that I have never found any widow more honest in my belief in an application for a pension - Concord NH May 19. 1849.

Dr Sir:
My father, Paul Wentworth, of Concord, N.H., thus writes me about a Mrs Glines, whose case I wish you would attend soon.
I received from y r office 13 pension certificates for widows, leaving only one case in the office, that of the Widow Glines of Moultonborough who was not married until 1799 and has never received a pension coming under the new law - Her husband Israel Glines was a pensioner under the law of 1818 for $96 per annum I suppose her case was handed another Clerk in the Office, and I think it was well made out; therefore I expect to hear from it in a few days - As Mr. Edwards only enclosed the Pension certificates & did not write me yesterday I wrote him acknowledging the receipt of the 13 and reminding him of this one case of the Widow Glines.

Sir
I have the honor to inform you that the papers transmitted to this office by Paul Wentworth Esq., in support of the claim of Margaret Glines widow of Israel Glines under the act of 29 July 1848 have been examined and placed on our files.
Claimant insisted in his declaration under the act of 18 March 1828. States that he entered the Service at the Muster of July 1776 and was discharged on 15 January 1777, having served 11 months. This Service will be admitted but, Applicant is required to file a declaration made before a Court of Record and produce some evidence more satisfactory than that now produced of their marriage prior to 1800 to authorize the issuing of a pension certificate to her for that Service. In his schedule in 1820, Glines gives the names of 5 of his children the oldest of whom

Burnham, was but 15 years of age. As it appears from the testimony of one of the witnesses that these parents had but 6 children, it is scarcely probable that the one who worked for Mr. Sturtevant in 1875 could have been at that time 15 years of age or 5 years older than the child born next to her - Some satisfactory proof of the American Standard The evidence now before the Department is not sufficient to authorize the admission of the claim

Sir,
The declaration of Margaret Glimes widow of Israel Glimes, now presented by you is satisfactory, but the additional evidence as to their marriage does not show with the certainty required that it took place prior to 1800. The family Register of Luther Willoughby in which the age of his wife has been recorded more than 20 years ago, as he states, should be sent to this office, that  it may possibly furnish the proof required. As this Claim turns entirely upon the time of the mar- -riage, some evidence showing definitely the date of its occurrence should be adduced. The declaration of the Respondent herself cannot be received as conclusive upon this point.

On a recent visit to Hampshire, my attention was called to the subject of the within letter. The Bible leaf was borrowed on a positive pledge to return it.
The tenor of your letter was that you only wanted to see it. Else the leaf could not have been got.

Dear brother
In procuring a pension for Margaret Glines last year, it was very difficult to find satisfactory evidence in regard to the day of her marriage as there was very any record made of the marriage by a person doing the same. My father procured firstly through me an attested copy of the record made in Luther Willabe family bible and sent it to the Department as evidence in part that that she was married before 1800. As this record showed that Mrs. Willabe was born about that time, Mrs. Willabe being the daughter of Mr & Mrs Glines -
The Department wrote back that they would like to see the original record, and after persuading Mr. Willabe for sometime he consented to let me cut from his bible the record only on condition that I would see again the leaf. and would put it back again , I should have sent the whole bible in stead of cutting out if it had not been for the fact that as well as for fear of  the book was  than the cutting of the . It is a fine well kept bible and  he  has  kept  it  very  carefully  and  they  could  buy  the  book  or  records  from  him  for  one . Now

he wants the leaf, according to my promise in order to make his records complete
I wish you to call upon the Department and procure said leaf and forward it to me that I may redeem my promise to him
Mrs Willaba at the time I procured the record was very ill and died in about four weeks afterwards, this makes Mr Willaba much more anxious to have his records complete, I took a copy of the same and left with him but he is not satisfied with it
Margaret Glines the person for whom the pension was procured also died on the 28th day of April last.
Respectfully Yours Jos. Wentworth
I have been thinking of you and your kindly words and how much I should like to see you again after all this time but I am afraid that I cannot well detach myself from here at the moment I am very busy with my pen and ink and the records of the department I hope to hear from you soon and to see you in the near future I am truly Yours Jos. Wentworth

I have no doubt that it is a genuine & true record made about the time of Mr Willoughby marriage as he also testifies and also I would further testify and say that Mr Luther Willoughby the person above named sustains a reputable character

Dear John
Herewith you have the Pension certificate of the Wid Glines & the letter of Mr. Edwards returned as you desired . — They say the Pension is to be increased , — I am inclined to believe now that the husband made a full declaration of all his service during the Rev. War under the law of 1818, which paper they have — Therefore we must take what the Widow is entitled to under his declaration, which I hope will be full $60 (say for 18 months service) — If they increase only about 1 month I think I should rather see, — had taking a new certificate until I can examine the Rolls here — However I think if all the service as he stated is allowed we shall be safe —
All Well etc
